Ep. 29: Black Jack trata a Sono, una chica sensible a la luz obligada a priorizar el ikebana sobre su salud.

29

Black Jack takes on a case of Sono, a young girl who is sensitive to light and has a weak heart. Her father wants her to become better at all cost so she can become the head of the family. The family's main focus is ikebana so Sono is pushed to the brink of death to make the ultimate ikebana for her recital. When Sono almost dies trying to go outside to see wildflowers in their natural beauty, Black Jack tells her father she is being pushed too hard. Sono tells Black Jack she will die anyway so why give her the surgery. Hearing this BJ tells Sono that flowers and human are both beautiful because they live. He states he has seen patients far worse than her including Pinoko who struggled so much to live. Black Jack states if she is not interested in living the operation is off. Later Sono states she wants to live and Black Jack goes ahead with the operation lengthening her life. (Source: Wikipedia)
